Description
Tilly and I are taking a year away from our normal working lives in the UK to travel the world to find new experiences and build deep connections with people we are yet to meet in places we are yet to visit, in a way that you cannot do as a normal 'tourist'.
We are naturally curious people and willing to get involved in any work that needs to be completed.
We are passionate about the environment, conservation and more sustainable approaches to living. We hope to learn from other people and their cultural attitudes towards nature so that we can take some of these lessons back to the UK.
